Any good Wico experiences?

From the awful online catalog http://www.wicothesource.com/new2/pics/page87.jpg and the near useless online price list http://www.wicothesource.com/new2/pricing/internet price.htm it looks like I need the following:
22-1040-xx Long button @ 0.49
22-1052 Button holder assembly @ 1.35
1160-092-1 Pal Nut @ 0.10
versus Bob Roberts:
Leaf sw button only long @ 1.50
Leaf sw & holder @ 3.00
Leaf sw pal nuts 5 @ 1.00
PS: There is a much improved online Gaming catalog, but it doesn't have the buttons.

I've ordered from Wico 3 times and haven't had any problems (luckily it seems). I started off calling the number listed on the website, the guy I talked to didn't seem like the smartest guy in the world, but after I emailed the first order my local sales rep called (they have a guy that deals with orders in New England alone) and he has been very helpful. You might want to call and see if there's a local sales guy in your area, then talk to him.

Well... if you ever consider giving money to good causes / companies.
Bob Roberts is the king in great service for parts.
But my question is this...
Is there a difference between the the wico and the happs leaf switches?
There might be a reason that wicos are so cheap.

Wico button holder assemblies do not have a spacer built on to them. From Bob Robert's pictures, his does.

I don't think Bob Robert's leaf buttons are Happ. If there is a Happ part number for leaf switches & pushbuttons, I can't find it.

You may be correct, but since I'm mounting them on a wood panel I shouldn't need the extra height. I fully expect to have to shim or hack them anyway. The Wico assembly costs less than ordering the leaf switches alone!
